Chapter 385: The Bow of Shierji

PS: Today is like this, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are two watches, double eleven and three watches

"It's still good in ancient times, the gentleman is not seriously injured, he is not a bird, and he does not rely on dangerous passes to fight. At that time, victory could not run more than a hundred steps, defeat could not be indulged, and the generals who led the army were all polite people. They will also pity the wounded and sick of the enemy, and they will be clear about their benevolence, and they will form a column before the war, and they will be clear about their faith, and they will fight for righteousness and not profit, and they will ......be clear about their righteousness."

Doctor Fan Yi is a little old-fashioned and cowardly, he is very nostalgic for the past aristocratic wars, and he leaves the desperate things to the people and the common people, and the nobles only need to put arrows on the chariot, and the generals who know each other face to face, and they can also toast each other, and praise you for your good spear, newly cast? The horses are handsome, newly bought?

"But now, fighting for the wilderness, the attacking side is a posture of not destroying the state and vowing not to give up. Fighting for the city, the defenders have no longer the old custom of fighting frankly, for fear that the city walls are not high enough, and the killing equipment is not sharp enough, so they will do everything they can, and the people's hearts will not be ancient. Now the Qi State is strong and the Lu State is weak, this is something that has been expected from the Taigong and Bo Yu sealed in the Eastern Kingdom hundreds of years ago, even if the city wall is added to Wanche, it is useless. ”

However, he openly nostalgic for the ancient times at the meeting where the doctors and the Yi Zai of Xilu discussed how to use the lake and marsh terrain pits caused by the Onozawa, Jishui, and Pushui Beizhu to the Qi people, although it was not intentional, it was a bit of a reference to Sang scolding Huai. What's more, this Fan Yi doctor has always believed that the best way to resist the Qi people is to de-arm, and then reach an agreement with the commander of the Qi State, and let the Qi people drive straight in.

The little priest asked how to resist the enemy in order to minimize the losses, and the doctors had their own opinions. But if you want me to say, you should send envoys to Pingyin and Dong'a to ask for a meeting with the doctor of Qishi Wuxiang. Ensure that the Xilu Pass is not defended and the army is not arrayed. Let them in. The purpose of the Qi people's war this time is to serve Lu, and it must not be difficult for Zhuyi along the way. If Qilu asks for peace, we will no longer have to suffer from the war, and we will return to the invading enemy after the war, so why not ......"

Zhao Wuxian's fingers tapped lightly on the case, others are fine, but he is absolutely not good, once the city is broken, everything for him will be lost in an instant, and the best outcome is to be escorted to Linzi and Comrade Yanghu as companions.

There was silence for a moment. Some people are already thinking about the feasibility of this, and if this tendency to surrender is not refuted, it will hurt morale at least and collapse the alliance that has been so easily tangled.

So Zhao Wuxian, who was sitting at the top, looked at Zai Yu who was sitting at the end of the seat, Zai Yu understood, and immediately stood up and said generously: "Doctor Fan Yi's words are false, this is like two people fighting each other, just don't think about how to defeat the enemy, how can there be a reason to guard against the enemy?" Back then, Song Xianggong fought with the Chu people with this thought. He refused to attack halfway, so he suffered a crushing defeat and died of his wounds. If it weren't for the appearance of Duke Wen of Jin later, the princes of the Central Plains would have been reduced to the county princes of Chu State one after another. I'm afraid that the society surnamed Ji is no longer guaranteed, and the doctor's pedantic words are useless in the current war. ”

Doctor Fan Yi is a doctor anyway, and when he saw that Xiao Xiaoyi dared to come out to refute him. And his words were quite unkind, and he immediately said unhappily: "Could it be that Zhongdu Zai knows war very well? Then how could the robbers break through Wai Guo last time? If it weren't for Zhao Xiaosikou's rescue, you, your master, and fellow disciples would probably be forced to become thieves! ”

He was laughing at Zai Yu's master and apprentice, and that was just that. Even Confucius was injured at the head of the city, and although Zai Yu had a general respect for Confucius, he was born in a Confucian family and must be absolutely defended in front of outsiders.

"Although I don't know about warfare, I have read ancient and modern classics, so I know some of them. Sima Muyi of the Song State once said that a strong enemy could not open his position because of the narrow terrain, and this was God helping me, intercepting and attacking it, isn't it? I'm afraid that I won't be able to win, so how can I make a light move because I can't bear it. Now the state of Qi is our great enemy, although there are old men in its army, they are enemies on the battlefield, and if they are captured, they will be imprisoned until the end of the war. Zhao Wushu was ashamed to teach war, in order to kill and injure more enemies, so as to protect the people's goods, and to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to his own people. ”

When it comes to ripping up, where is Dr. Fan Yi the opponent of Zai Yu, a high-achieving student in the "Speech" department, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, he pointed at Zai Yu and said: "I heard that Confucius taught his disciples benevolence, righteousness and virtue, and as a result, he taught people like you?" Not the son of man! ”

Zai Yu was precisely the most rebellious student among the disciples of Confucius, and he often had his own set of views on benevolence, righteousness, and virtue, but he was biased towards the utilitarian school.

"The doctor wants to know how the Master taught me. Okay, let me just talk about it, Master once taught me "Poetry. Da Ming", which has this sentence, 'The emperor is the king of Wen: the enemy of Er, Brother Tonger. Hook with Er, and Er Linchong, with Chongyong'. King Wen of Zhou, known as the benevolent and righteous monarch, also used hook aid, Linchong and other equipment, and won after a hard battle. ”

"Master also taught me the outer part of the Book of Shang, and I remember that there is such a passage in it: King Wu conquered the Quartet, and there were nine out of ninety countries that destroyed the country, and two out of six hundred and fifty countries served the country. Nine out of 107,770 beheaded, and two hundred and thirty out of 300,000 prisoners! The doctor now knows how the martial king's exploits came about? It's made of human heads! ”

This quotation made Dr. Fan Yi speechless, and Zai Yu was not satisfied, and made persistent efforts to send out the final blow: "Shangshu. There are also words of bloodshed and drifting in Wucheng, so it can be seen that in ancient times, King Wen and King Wu fought like this, let alone us? If the doctor has a heart, listen to Xiao Sikou's strategy to resist the enemy, don't think about the past and the present, and don't say anything about surrendering the enemy! ”

Doctor Fan Yi's face turned pale, and he was affected by him, and the rest of the doctors and Prime Minister Yi, who were a little shaken in their minds, looked at each other and shook their heads, no longer taking his words to heart. It was only at this time that Zhao Wuxian slowly slapped his palms, pretended to reprimand Zai Yu, and gave Dr. Fan Yi a step down.

"Son, I'm rude! Hurry back to your seat. Although the doctor's opinion is different from mine, this is harmony but difference, and the original intention is to protect the territory and the people, right? ”

Seeing someone passing the stairs, Dr. Fan Yi, whose thin face was flushed, got off the donkey down the slope: "It's still Si Kou who is insightful and understands what I mean." ”

Wuxian said: "But the Qi people are slippery, and it is not once or twice that they have invaded the western part of the Lu country, and each time they have been very badly disabled. Since the doctor is here, he must be hoping to cooperate with us. Fanyi is located in the south of Qinyi and Yiyi, and the north of Xiaqiu. It is the center of this defense against the enemy, but the battle is not necessarily too fierce. When the time comes, I will have to rely on the doctor......"

Dr. Fan Yi said that he didn't dare, and he didn't mention surrender anymore.

Although several Yi doctors and Yi Zai of Xilu gathered in Xiaqiu on the eve of the Qi army's suppression, they swore that they were willing to share weal and woe and resist the invasion of the enemy army together. But in fact, everyone is only concerned about the safety of their own fiefdom, because Sanhuan is too busy to take care of himself, whether they live or die, he has no choice but to use the powerful Zhao Wuxian in the military to hope for protection.

So when calling for help. The doctors took the lead, and when it was Zhao Wuxian's turn to propose that everyone help each other and pay some obligations, they began to complain.

……

As the northernmost position, Yi Zai, who was on the front line to meet the Qi people, complained: "Yi Yi is on the verge of Pingyin and Dong'e, and there are few soldiers in the city, which is not enough to defend the causeway. ”

Doctor Qin Yi then said: "There is no danger of Sichuan in the four fields of Qinyi, and the Qi people can scatter and plunder, or easily go around the city. There is also an urgent need for soldiers. ”

The thin-faced Fan Yi doctor didn't say a word, they have more than 2,000 Fan Yi households, there is no shortage of manpower, and the land is rich and fertile. There is no shortage of food, and what is lacking is probably the courage to resist the enemy.

In general, it is the short tall fish doctor who is the most realistic: "The tall fish is small." There are also cities in the south of the country, not to mention those located in the south. Surrounded by various towns, as long as the front is guarded. Qi people won't be able to arrive for a while. I am willing to take a brigade of people to obey Zhao Sikou's dispatch, but now there is a shortage of food and cannot provide corn for fighting abroad. ”

Look, look! This is called enlightenment, this doctor who once wore armor and personally arrested thieves, and now he is Zhao Wuxian's most powerful supporter.

Zai Yu, as the first lord of Zhao Wuxian, naturally could not show weakness, he said: "Although Zhongdu was only stolen and broken by Wai Guo last year, this is what Si Kou saw with his own eyes, but now he has recovered a little vitality, I have the same door Fan Xu, except for Zilu and Ziyou, he is the most knowledgeable soldier, guarding the south bank of Wenshui, and it is not a problem for the doctor to defend the flank. ”

Perhaps because the lesson of the robbers breaking the outer Guo was too painful, the Zhongdu Yi gradually changed from the previous rear army policy to the first army policy from this year, although Confucius questioned Zai Yu's method of governing the city, but did not interfere too much. The first Confucian experimental field in the Lu State gradually changed, and there was a tendency to be assimilated by Zhao Wuxian's forces.

With the support of Zhao Wuxian, the old equipment eliminated by the soldiers was basically transported there, and when all the people were soldiers, it would not be a problem to arm the 300 people. Interestingly, the Fan Xu (character Chi), who had "asked Confucius" and was treated as a "villain" by Confucius, was completely a spearman, and at a glance he knew that it was a copycat Zhao Wushu, after all, he could only learn from his senior brother Ran Qiu.

Zhao Wuxian said: "Don't worry, doctors, our eight yi have their own strengths, but also have their own shortcomings, or lack of soldiers, or lack of food, or less danger, this Xilu joint defense is to combine our strengths and weaknesses, unified scheduling, to achieve the purpose of mutual protection." ”

He quickly explained the defense of each city and the things they were responsible for, in general, Qinyi and Yiyi were at the forefront of the front, and they must not let the Qi people cross the area of thirty or forty miles, and the east of Yiyi could be defended by relying on the lake and marsh terrain, and Qinyi would have to gather the main force of the coalition army.

Qin is a kind of millet, Qin Yi got its name from this, and the Qin State in the West got its name from the "Qin Pavilion" sealed by Feizi, also because of this crop. Qinyi, like Fanyi, is located in the lower reaches of Pushui, which is a fertile land, with no shortage of food and few soldiers.

There is Wenshui in the central capital, and there is still the residual vein of Mount Tai, which has never been the direction of the main attack of the Qi people, so let the Zhongdu soldiers guard the south bank of Wenshui, if there is something, Ran Qiu of Yuncheng will also rush to help.

Fan Yi provided cattle and horses for transit, as well as labor, and pushed and muttered about sending troops. Zhao Wuxian is still not at ease with Doctor Fan Yi, if possible, he has to send someone to control his defense, otherwise the worst-case scenario, after Qin Yi and Yi are not guaranteed, if Fan Yi suddenly surrenders to the enemy, then the Qi people will really come to the city!

In terms of the army, Zhao Wuxian came out with the majority, half of the military soldiers, half of the Yi soldiers and half of the pavilion soldiers would be pulled to Qinyi for fortification, and the reason why he only went half was that he still had to guard against the thieves of Weiguo and Ohnoze.

"The news of the correspondence between the various towns was delivered by the light knights, and the speed was much faster than the passing car, Qinyi and Yiyi, as well as the Guangbu cavalry north of Wenshui, as soon as the Qi people moved, Xilu could know in advance...... What do you think? ”

Compared with their panic, Xiaqiu, Zhen, and Yuncheng have already completed the deployment in an orderly manner, and they can even spare people to help them. Naturally, the doctors couldn't ask for it. They nodded to each other, including Dr. Fan Yi at both ends of the first rat. Nothing to promise.

"We are the only ones who look forward!"

However, although they were instigated by Zhao Wuxian, the Liqiu Alliance. But after discussing the strategy of defending against the enemy, I had a reassurance in my heart, and I also thought about the aftermath of the war.

In particular, Yi Yi Zai was the most worried, he was newly appointed after the fall of Yanghu and the absconding of the former Yi Zai, and he was directly under Lu Hou. Originally, his rank was lower than that of the doctor, and Zai Yu, who was at the same level, had a small uncle in the court, and he had a close relationship with Zhao Wuxian, but he had no background. Otherwise, they will not be thrown into the small and poor border land of Yiyi.

"Although this meeting is excusable, it is a private meeting that violates etiquette after all. Zhao Xiaosikou has Zhao Qing of the Jin Kingdom as his backer, and he is still a minister of great merit who is relied on by the king, at most he has a sentence of praise. But I'm here openly, when the war is over, the king will be furious, Sanhuan doesn't know how to deal with me, I'm afraid this duty can't be saved......"

Just then, someone came to report. said that the king's order from Lucheng had arrived.

……

It was still Zifu He who read out Lu Hou's order.

Zifu He and Zhao Wuxian originally had a good relationship, but this time they had a gloomy face, and the first thing they said was: "Xiao Sikou has acted a little too much this time!" ”

Wuxian sighed and said: "I have to do it as a last resort, and I just need to do it in a hurry." Could it be that now, can I still count on the Ji family and the uncle and grandson family to save each other? Or do you have to tie your hands up and lower your hands to be considered steady? ”

Zifu is speechless. Their Meng clan is still different from the Ji clan and their uncle and grandson, and they take on the defense of the northern border. Self-preservation. Even in the short term, he had to rely on Zhao Wuxian to help defend the flanks in the west. Although Gong Yiyang was malicious to Zhao Wuxian, Nangong Yue and Zifu were happy to see it, but he was dissatisfied with Zhao Wuxian's practice of ignoring etiquette too much.

In the face of the huddle actions of the Western Zhuyi, the Ji family and the Shusun clan seemed to be generalized, and they didn't want to agree, but they couldn't stop it. After discussing it in the next season, Lu Houliu thought that if he ignored it, when the war was over, the West would be defeated and fell, and if he held it, the prestige of the office would be greatly hit, and he must quickly recognize this alliance.

On the contrary, it was Confucius, who was the most sympathetic to Zhao Wuxian before, and of course only sympathetic, to express his opposition.

"The doctor's behavior of meeting in private is indecent, even in the history books, it must be belittled in a special way, how can it be admitted? What if after this incident, Dr. Jeroku followed suit? The country will not be a country! ”

But the Lu State has even come over the years of Lile's conquest from the courtiers, and although the rulers are not happy, they also have to pinch their noses and agree, after all, compared to Zhao Wuxian, the menacing Qi people are more terrifying. Now that the six Qings are separated, they can't figure out how fast the Jin State will respond, maybe they have to rely on Zhao Ying to let the Lu State tide over the crisis, since Zhao Wuxian wants to pick the beam, then let him pick it, anyway, this alliance is just a temporary emergency strategy.

So there was Zifu He's trip to Xiaqiu.

"Gong said: Woohoo! Xiao Sikou, today I am lonely and only ordered you to take the matter of the army, go to it! Ci'er Jing Banner three, Ji Gong one, Ji Ya hundred, Yu Qi people in the west, do not invade the Lu country ......"

The bow and arrow are bows and arrows painted black, which are symbolic items given by the princes to the princes, which are one level lower than the Tong bow given to the princes by the Son of Heaven.

As the saying goes, "The princes and doctors have great merit, give bows and arrows, and then specialize in expeditions." To teach morality and practice shooting, hide and show your descendants. "The bow and arrow have the meaning of shooting and defending against the enemy, and the acceptance of the banner and the bow and arrow is equivalent to being granted the right to conquer by the king.

After accepting the order, the doctors in the West breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Zhao Wuxian, although he was late, he also made up a procedure, making the private meeting of each city a proper behavior.

Zifu He said: "The king also gave a message that the king ordered Nanzhong to go to the city. Get out of the car Peng Peng, and get out of the Yangyang. ”

This passage is from "Xiao Ya. Out of the car", Nan Zhong was a courtier of King Xuan of Zhou, who was ordered by the king to build a city in Shuofang to resist the invasion of Xuanli, and the identities of Lu Hou and Zhao Wuxian are poetic.

So Zhao Wuxian responded: "Since you get out of my car and set up my flag, you must not dishonor the king's life!" ”

Zifu He was still angry, he deliberately didn't stay, and said coldly before leaving: "Yu Gong, I hope that Si Kou can resist the Qi people for the country, and Yu is private, I hope Si Kou will be Nanzhong, not Shenhou!" ”

Jiang's surname is Xishenhou, who was originally the in-laws of the Zhou royal family, but he led the dog Rong into Feng and pickaxe, which was the culprit for the fall of Zong Zhou, and the contrast with Nanzhong is stark, so how can Zifu say this......

The smile is unsympathetic, and what is in mind is ......

"I'd rather be the regent's Zhou Gong ......"

His entanglement with Xilu to protect each other this time was still a risky move, risking offending Lu Hou, offending Sanhuan, and even the danger of being evil with Confucius.

Just because the arrival of the Qi people was like a monstrous wave, the times did not allow Zhao Wuxian Taoguang to recuperate. Who let him be desperate and set up his base camp in the west of the Lu country? Qi is in the north, Wei is in the south, the various forces of the Lu country are in the east, and the Ono Ze thief is on the side of the couch, which is the place of the four wars, and there are changes in the east, and it is often a soldier rushing.

Today's situation is that if you fight, you will become stronger, and if you don't fight, you will decline!

Zhao Wuxian suddenly felt that he and his neighbors seemed to have entered the Warring States Period in advance.

After receiving Lu Cheng's additional recognition, the doctors' worries were also put down, and after continuing to pull the skin on the details for half a day, the agreement was finally reached. They have made a bloody alliance with Zhao Wuxian, and also set up the "Xilu Doctor Association Alliance Monument" outside the address of the alliance, and engraved the alliance book, expressing their willingness to share weal and woe, and friendship is as immortal as a rock.

In this way, Zhao Wuxian can be regarded as reversing the impending death situation of the Qi people.

Thanks to the deterrent power of Qi State, as well as Sanhuan's inaction, Zhao Wuxian has received extremely rich benefits. As soon as he came, he could "use his neighbors as a screen" to avoid the territory being involved in military disasters; secondly, it can increase prestige and justifiably become the head of the Xilu doctors; Third, it is easy to invite God to send God, and when the war is over, why not extend your power into these cities by the way?

As for whether you can hold this heaven-sent land, it depends on your own ability.

The time was approaching the end of August, and the Xiwei side was waiting for it, and the Qi State had almost completed the assembly of the army. Qi Hou and Guo, Gao, Chen and other Qing in the south of Jishui to govern the army, looking towards the four fields, more than 1,000 military vehicles, tens of thousands of soldiers, can be described as showing off their might.

But after the Qi army was mobilized, their next move was completely unexpected by the Lu people...... (To be continued......)
